I am going out on a limb and say that the poll is wrong. How wrong is the question? I am sure that Hispanics are not coming out to vote in this election, at least not in large numbers. That is obvious to me by the voting numbers in predominantly Hispanic early voting locations. Early voting locations where large percentages of African-Americans live indicate that they are voting. Will it be enough to prove that the U of H poll is wrong? Many progressive Democratic clubs have endorsed Letitia Plummer, so I don’t expect Parker to get as many progressive votes as she hopes for.
The Black community is a friend of the Hispanic Community, the Gay community not so much, in fact, I would say that they use our neighborhoods and lack of voting for their own benefit.
The poll below, from the University of Houston, shows that Letitia Plummer would receive 25% of the vote. They were off by 12 percentage points. They were also way off on Salazar.
I have no idea whether they contacted the same likely voters or compiled a new list of likely voters. They don’t provide a breakdown of the voters’ race and ethnicity.
A new U of H poll indicates that Annise Parker has an 18-point lead. A poll this close to an election is designed to help the person who is shown in the lead.
